Revelation 17 Describes The RCC To A T!!

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

This article is very long so I'll post a few snippets.

Her clothing:

Her clothing identifies her with Rome (v. 4). “…arrayed in purple and scarlet colour…” The Apostles and Christians of the early churches were humble Bible-believers who lived simple lives and did not follow the pattern of the world’s leaders and religions. The harlot church, on the other hand, loves impressive cathedrals, flowing robes, gorgeous ritualism, expensive ecclesiastical clothing and trappings. Rev. 17:4 describes exactly how Rome’s bishops and archbishops and cardinals and popes are clothed even to this day.

a. A few years ago, I watched a televised broadcast of the papal Christmas mass at the Vatican, and it looked like a sea of purple and scarlet!

b. The Catholic Encyclopedia describes the garments of the Catholic clergy. One is called the Cappa Magna, a cloak with a long train with a hooded shoulder cape. The color of it was purple wool for bishops, scarlet silk for cardinals, and red velvet for the pope. The Cassock was a close-fitting, ankle-length robe. The color was purple for bishops and scarlet for cardinals.

Her wealth:

Her wealth identifies her with Rome (v. 4). “... decked with gold and precious stones and pearls...” This is an accurate description of the wealth of the Catholic Church. It also describes literally the gold and jewels with which Rome has decked herself.

a. Consider this description of the coronation of Pope Gregory IX (1227-1241): “On the day of his coronation he proceeded to St. Peter’s, accompanied by several prelates, and assumed the pallium according to custom; and after having said mass he marched to the palace of the Lateran, COVERED WITH GOLD AND JEWELS. On Monday, having said mass at St. Peter’s, he returned wearing two crowns, mounted on a horse richly caparisoned, and surrounded by Cardinals CLOTHED IN PURPLE, and a numerous clergy. The streets were spread with tapestry, INLAID WITH GOLD AND SILVER, the noblest productions of Egypt, and the most brilliant colors of India, and perfumed with various aromatic odors” (George Waddington, A History of the Church from the Earliest Ages to the Reformation, 1834, p. 335).

c. The crown of Pope Julius II was valued at 200,000 ducats or gold coins. That is as much as Pope Paul III gave to Emperor Charles V to use in the war against the Protestants in the 16th century (Miller’s Church History, chapter 46). It is also the same amount as the dowry the king of Spain gave for the marriage of his daughter, Catherine, to Arthur, Prince of Wales and heir to the British throne in the 16th century. (When Arthur died five months after the wedding, Catherine became the wife of his brother, Henry, who became the infamous King Henry VIII.)

Her location:

Her location identifies her with Rome (v. 9). John pictures the great harlot sitting upon seven mountains, which most Protestants of old and fundamentalists of the present identify as the city of Rome. “The woman is a city, and the city is Rome, the religious capital of the world. ... Rome was the city set on seven hills and was known as such to both pagan and Christian writers. ... Ovid said, ‘Rome looks around on the whole globe from her seven mountains, the seat of empire and abode of the gods.’ ... She is religious Rome, which at that time will have inherited all the religions of the world. ... It will attain the goal of the present-day apostates of all the great systems of the world: Romanism, Protestantism, pagan religions, cults and isms” (J. Vernon McGee, Revelation).

So have I now become your enemy for telling you the TRUTH? Galatians 4:16************************************“Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.” ~Isaac Newton************************************We are called to be BOLD. ~Joshua 1:9~************************************You call me paranoid. I call you uninformed.

Her blasphemy identifies her with Rome (v. 3). “…full of names of blasphemy…” Rome is indeed full of blasphemy, having exalted herself to the place of God in people’s lives.

a. The titles of Rome’s popes are blasphemous. He calls himself the “holy father” and “his holiness,” names that belong solely to Almighty God. He calls himself the “vicar of Christ,” which is the office of the Holy Spirit.

b. Rome’s priests also take to themselves blasphemous titles and claims. They want to be called “father,” which Christ forbade. They are ordained after the order of Melchisedec, but this is an office that belongs to Christ alone.

"Purple and scarlet" equals bishops and cardinals. While some other denominations have bishops, I only know of one that has cardinals.

Not to mention that the RCC has changed the Sabbath, fornication with all religions, killed true Christians, kept the KJV from their people, the opening has the blasphemous staff if "Jesus", the Pope sits on a throne with an upside down cross and forgives sins. You have to be on some magical voodoo, to see all this and still follow them. No Catholic can deny Revelation 17. It's too detailed.

1 Timothy 3:16 KJVAnd without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Isaiah 9:6 KJVFor unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Mark 16:16 KJVHe that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Acts 2:38 KJVThen Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Romans 8:6-9 KJV6) For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8) So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Matthew 15:8-9 KJV8) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Acts 5:29 KJVThen Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

ive heard somewhere that a peace will be signed before, both in christian and judaic litreture.perhams the obama visist has got something to do with this peace.

Quoting: DPS

We have only 4-6 years left. Mark these words. The order is coming this year. And it's NOT a treaty, it's a COVENANT. People need to stop mixing that up. A covenant is an oath and last time I checked, someone made an oath to "many" and broke it. It's now the last half. What do I mean? History repeats itself. We had Hitler and Stalin. We had the days of Noah and Lot and now this generation that's repeating those times. Who are presidents supposed to swear to, to protect? Obama is now at his last term. Last FOUR years. Obama won't do it on his own. He'll have help from the false prophet and 2 Thessalonians Ch2.

Jerusalem is the city involved here. It sits on seven Hills. It is a Spiritual Queen as the temple Mount is there. It, as opposed to Rome, has killed the Prophets sent to it. Compare these verses:Mat 23:34 `Because of this, lo, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes, and of them ye will kill and crucify, and of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will pursue from city to city; Mat 23:35 that on you may come all the righteous blood being poured out on the earth from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar: Mat 23:36 verily I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation. Mat 23:37 `Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that art killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto thee, how often did I will to gather thy children together, as a hen doth gather her own chickens under the wings, and ye did not will. Mat 23:38 Lo, left desolate to you is your house;

Rev 17:6 And I saw the woman being drunk from the blood of the saints, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I marveled, seeing her, with a great marveling. Saints refers to Old Testament Saints as opposed to, "the witnesses of Jesus", (Christians).

Since the RCC did not exist until decades later this is not who is being described.

Since when has Rome been burned down with fire, 10 times?

Rev 17:16 And the ten horns,(kings),which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolated and naked. And they will eat her flesh, and will burn her down with fire.

Yet Jerusalem has been many times. What Kings hate Rome? Yet most hate Jerusalem and the Jews.There are to many proofs to list here but you get the idea.

So you can see the RCC does not fit here. I am not defending it or its actions. Just looking for Truth to prevail.

Please note in your post above...

Jesus was talking about the people of Jerusalem killing prophets...

The quote from Revelations is talking about killing saints...not prophets.

If you watch the video I pointed out...you should not have a doubt that the RCC is the description in Revelations 17.

There will be 2 beast of stature, which that in itself creates a problem in the timelines as to what who and when.Personally I have to think if Obummer is in Israel on the 20th and a peace deal is created and it will move forward then No.1 is in place, the POPE "new man on the scene" is No.2.
